Anybody notice that out of the 30 goals nominated for the public voting for MLS Goal Of The Year: Ruiz gets 3 entries, out of his 8 goals in the run of play this season (he scored 7 more on PK's.) Twellman has none, out of his 15 goals. Ralph has 3 entries out of his 10 nonPK goals; Noonan has 1, out of his 10 nonPKs; Clint Mathis also has 1 of his 7. LA has 7 total entries out of their 29 nonPK goals on the year. The Revs have 2 of their league-leading 53 non-PKs. The Fire have 5 out of 46 nonPKs, the Rapids 5 out of 35. What's it all mean, the Revs don't scored exciting goals? Or yet another conspiracy theory...

I think it means that voting on how good a goal is is totally subjective. Twellman had a few nice goals I remember seeing that aren't on there, but I don't really think any of the goals up there are bad enough that I couldn't understand why anyone would vote for them over Twellman's.
